I design, implement, and stabilize AI-powered workflows for real business operations.

I combine software engineering, production reliability, API integration, and customer-facing troubleshooting to turn AI prototypes into dependable systems — grounded in site reliability engineering at a Fortune 100 company and years supporting enterprise legal technology platforms.

About

Where the reliability instinct came from, and why it shows up in the code.

I live in Boston, where I build web applications and the infrastructure underneath them. I started programming in high school in Haiti and moved to the United States to build a career in tech — teaching myself to code while working in IT, until I committed fully to software development in 2019.

I build for longevity — systems that stay reliable long after the launch excitement fades.

Customer support and years supporting enterprise legal technology at Hamilton Brook Smith Reynolds and Brown Rudnick gave me empathy for the people using what I build — I was the first call when something broke for a real user. Site reliability engineering at a Fortune 100 company gave me production judgment: how systems actually fail, and what it takes to keep them running.

Now I build the software and AI systems myself, so I own the whole thing end to end.

Outside of code, you'll find me doing lawn care, knee-deep in a handyman project around the house, or firing up the grill with my wife and my two boys.

Record

Twelve years from help desk to site reliability engineering to independent AI and software engineering — the roles where I learned how production systems actually break, and how to build them so they don't.

Project 01

In progress

Local Bank Statement Analyzer

Import months or years of bank and credit-card statements and get one consolidated, local view of your finances across every account. Deterministic Python parses and reconciles the numbers; AI is used only for interpretation, and PII never leaves the machine.

  • Extract raw transactions from PDF/CSV statements — not started
  • Define and validate a normalized transaction schema — not started
  • Merge multi-account, multi-month statements and reconcile against balances — not started
  • Detect recurring expenses, duplicates, and spending categories — not started

If you're hiring, tell me about the role and the team — I'd rather hear about the problems than the perks. If you're building something and want to compare notes, that works too.
